My girlfriend came from Mexico to visit me in January. I am a U.S. citizen. We decided to get married on April 3.
A week later, I filed:
- Form I-130 Petition for Alien Relative
- Form G-325A Biographic Information (Petitioner)
- Form G-325A Biographic Information (Spouse)
- Photographs
- Marriage Certificate
- Supporting evidence for bona fide marriage.
- etc.
We just received back the I-797C, Notice of Action, confirming that the USCIS received my petition.
My first question, is how to I find out the current processing time for our case?
My second question is, when do I send in the following:
- Form I-485 Application for Adjustment of Status
- Form I-765 Employment Authorization
- Form I-864 Affidavit of Support
- Form I-693 Medical Examination
My wife's visa is going to expire in July of this year. That only gives us a couple of months before her visa expires.
Since I've already filed the I-130, will I still need to file something to allow her to continue to stay with me in the U.S.?
Thanks for your help and time in this regard!
